Fumbles Costly As Frogs Win 14-13
Jayhawkers Hold Favored Texans On Even Terms; Future Looks Good
Playing before the largest opening day crowd in Memorial stadium history-an estimated 26,000 fans,-the 1948 Jayhawkers bowed to a heavier and more experienced Texas Christian eleven,14-13,Saturday.
Two minutes after the second half kickoff, K.U. crossed the Horned Frog's goal stripe for the first time since a Ray Evans-Otto Schnellbach pass connected in the 1942 game—the first in the K.U.-T.C.U. series.
Defeat was spelled f-u-m-b-l-e for the Red and Blue as five of the six bobbles by Jayhawkers fell into hostile hands.
In the first quarter, after a T.C.U. drive bogged down only 5 yards from pay dirt Bud French bucked the line in an attempt to move Kansas out of a hole but the ball slipped from his arms into the hands of Randy Rogers who downed it on the 10.
Homer Ludiger split the uprights with a high place kick to make the score 7-0.
It took T.C.U. 3 plays after the beginning of the second quarter to blast to the two, from where Pete Stout, 205 lb. veteran fullback, smacked into the end zone.
With the ball resting on the T.C.U. 29, Dave Schmidt, veteran end, broke through the Frog's defense to block a punt by Leon Joslyn. Hugh Johnson, K.U. tackle and co-captain, grabbed the ball on the 15, faltered for a moment, regained his balance, and raced across the goal line.
T. C.U.'s second touchtown was set up six minutes later when Hub Eoff pounced on a Kansas fumble on the Jayhawker 30. A Texan line buck and passing attempt failed and Joslyn punted out of bounds on the Kansas 5. On the first down Frank Patterson kicked back to kick out of danger. His kick was knocked by Bill Moorman. Wayne Rogers covered the ball in the end zone. Ludiger again converted making the score 14-6.
Forrest Griffith's attempted conversion went wide, leaving the score at 7-6.
With 12 minutes remaining in the final quarter the Jayhawkers stage a drive reminiscent of the 2015 Nassau Bees and Big Seven co-champions.
It began on the K.U. 48 after French had returned a Texas kick from the 22. The Jayhawkers took to the air. Two passes from quarterback Dick Gilman to Bryan Sperry were good for 40 yards. John Amberg, sophomore back, punched to the 3 where the drive slowed up. Two line plunges netted a first down on the $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard line. Four plays later Pattee blasted straight through center for the touchdown

T. C.U. drove to the Jayhawker 15 following the kickoff, but the drive fizzled with two incomplete passes. K.U. took over, but time was too short for a rally to develop.
The biggest thrill came for K.U. fans when all-conference backfull Griffith skirted right end from his own 20 for 68 yards to the T.C.U. 12. Texan Randy Rogers headed him off there and bounced him out-of-bounds.
However, line thrusts by French,
Griffith, and Dick Bertuzzi were
good for only 7 yards and the Frogs
took over on the 5.

Outweighed 25 pounds to the man in the line Coach J. V. Sikes' charges went into the game as 9 point underdogs. However, the final statistics gave the Texans only a small margin in most departments. K.U. outgained the Horned Frogs in the passing department, 83 yards to 74, completing 6 passes to their 8.

Forest Hills, N. Y. Sept. 20—(UP)
—As young Dick Gonzales and veteran Mrs. Margaret Ogborne DuPont sported their brand new national tennis titles today, it looked as if the United States would remain the tennis power of the world for many years to come.
Gonzales, the swarthy, 20-year-old Mexican, emerged as the sensation of the tournament and the main hope of the United States as the backbone of future Davis Cup squads. His 6-2, 6-3, 14-12 win over steady Eric Sturgesgess of South Africa in the finals capped a brilliant season.

Red Sox Skid But Braves Hold Lead
New York, Sept. 20 —(Up)— the sudden skid of the Boston Red Sox, who have lost five of their last eight games, threw the American league pennant race into a three-cornered battle today between Boston, Cleveland, and New York.
Staggered twice by the Tigers yesterday, 4 to 3 and 8 to 6, the Red Sox saw their lead trimmed to a half-game over the Indians and one game over the Yanks. The Indians moved into second place by trouncing Philadelphia twice, 5 to 3 and 2 to 0.
